Thanks for the help geeves, turns out the earlier rodeos running the RHB5 turbo had a larger exhaust port on the manifold which bolts up to the turbo which is where my problem was, the oil return line also has a slightly different flange pattern which I then found out I had to change too,I managed ...

Hey guys, <br/><br/>Long story short I had a custom turbo built for my 2.8 rodeo which currently runs a RHF5 turbo stock, now when I had this built I was under the impression that the new turbo (IHI VI95) would be a straight forward bolt on mod, but upon taking my old turbo off it and comparing it ...

I was in the habit of just starting it the same as a petrol car ie climb in turn key reverse out of driveway and drive off. One morning it was cold but here I was no wait ...

At the moment temperatures on the mornings are starting to drop under 10C, probably around 5 or 6 and it will get a little colder through winter but the rest of the time in the warmer months its fine.
